Are we really that bad off at TE?

[iiCaRoLiNa]

yess we are. and how do I post threads?

Well I doubt we'll sign King back so we're gonna have to pick up someone else

[panthers55]

As for receiving, King can't stretch the field and isn't a receiving threat at all. He gets no separation from linebackers and no running after the catch.

Barnidge was a total non factor not making 1 catch all year. 0 yards

Rosario has 32 catches for 264 yards and 0TDs. 9.6 yards per catch

King had 19 catches for 121 yards and 2 TDs. 6.3 yards a catch

So we had a total of 51 catches for 385 yards out of our 3 TEs. That is 3 catches a game. Pretty pitiful but understandable when you are only throwing for 150 yards a game.

Out of our camp, I think Rosario or Barnidge could be a go to guy and receiving threat. However, I would love to upgrade the position if possible in the draft or a FA.

i think rivera would rather have a great TE in here rather than a "not that bad" TE.

unlike what many panther fans have grown accustomed to after so many years of mediocre football from the panthers, rivera might not want to settle with a mediocre TE just because he just happens to be here and was drafted by a coach who didn't think TE was all that important a position.

you guys shouldn't want to settle, either.

would love to get miller, so would rivera

Dont understand why everyones so down on kingy. hes a better blocker and has decent hands adn hes only 27. rosario's too one deminsional in that he cant block and too slow to be a big time reciever threat. barnidge has good upside, makes some nice catches and is a good ST contributor. let rosario walk and find someone to compete in camp. owens is a free agent.

Rosario is plenty fast enough to be a big receiving threat. King on the other hand looks like he has 50lbs weights strapped to his legs when he's running down the field.

yess we are. and how do I post threads?

you have to have 100 posts. so its a no-go for you and me:eek6:

[j2sgam]

and how do I post threads?

You need to go ahead and post a bunch of BS and smarcastic answers to genuine questions. Also, if you have some lame-brained theories on how this team would be better, go ahead and post them too, especially if it has to do with Vick or Luck becoming our QB. Only after you have been properly chastised for your opinion and you properly fluff your post count to 101 you will get a super-keen badge that allows you to start threads...

I like to eat prime rib, sometimes tho I have to eat hamburger. Coach's long term plan might be a stud Tight end; however he might have to just use some that are serviceable until that one in a million comes around. Same can be said for alot of the players. Lastly we may have tons of underutilized talent, lets see what happens when an energetic coach excites the players.

I think the panthers will be ok with salary cap, but i don't expect to be able to get FA all pros at every position. It would be nice tho.

Rayzor I usely agree with you but when a player we all respect like Moose says "that he feels the TE Rivera is looking for is on the roster". I have 2 look at the guys we have differently. Dante has shown Flashes and Gary really has had a shot because he's not a great blocker like King is. Moose said at practice these dudes would make plays and then game time would get little 2 no looks at all.

Gary is really fast and can get down the middle and we all seen Dante make some great catches. I can't wait 2 see what the new OC will think about our TE situation.

Not true for me...made my first post @ 10. It was titled 2011 Off/Def Depth Chart.

I would believe that simply based on Rosario has shown flashes and we know Barnidge has the attributes..

Again this is not my opinion this is Moose who has been on the practice field and in game time with these guys. So I respect his scouting more then most.
